Edward Burgess, the designer OF the
Puritan, the May flower, and the Volun-
tcer, is Bostonian. The Burgess
family was a very wealthy one, and IL e
in sailing crack yachts on the Boston
Bay and in studying naval architec-
ture, and when the time came when it
was necessary for him to do something
for himself. he was not wanting. Be-
fore he built the Puritan, his first great
success, ne had designed some small
cat boats but when the Priscilla, which
the New York Yacht Club intended to
compete with the Gcnesta for the Amefi-
can cup was built, Mr.. Forbes commits
stoned Burgess to design the Puritan.
The new boat was built by the Low
lrys, OF Boston. So successful was the
Puritan that when the Genesta chal-
lenged for the cup General Paine, whom
there is 10 more enthusiastic, patriot
ic yachstman in the country, gave the
the May fower. Her success is so we'll
Known as not to need any repetition
here, but when the Thistle was built in
Scotland, and on our model, too, and
when the reports of her success reached
us, General Paine was not content to
allow the fnte of the cup to depend upon
tAe Mnyaower, and Burgess WAS again
summoned to the rescue. This time
he built of steel and on the banks of the
Delaware. The Volunteer is only q few
inches longer than the NJ tyhower.
Her first race was sailed in the con-
test for the Goelet cup, August 5, 1887,
at Newport, Rhode Island. In this
race the Volunteer beat the Mayhower
by minutes 20 seconds, actual tim;
hut she had also to allow the Mnyfower
AZ seconds. The Volunteer won the
Boston Herald trophy and the Brenton
Reef cup.
Besieds the boats above mentioned,
MIR. Burgess has designed the Shchem,
undoubtedly the best American schoon
rruhoat. His steam yacht Manniel and
tue cutter Rondina are also justly cele-
hraied crafts. Mr.. Burgess is Har-
vArl graduate aud is prominent mem
Der of the Eastern Yacht Club, being at
one time Secretary and Treasurer Of the
Association.

The lady CLERKS in the postoffice department
are debating a question of etiquette that has
some features of interest outside the four
white walls of that institution. The question
IS: "Shouldl the postmaster general be ex.
pected to remove his hat in the presence of
lady clerks ~indoorslD Col. Villas very often
goes over the building, both for the purposes
of inspection and to conduct personal friends
through the various instructive and interest
ing branches of the postal service. His gem
tlemen friends, on these tours of observation,
invariably remove their hats in the rooms
where there are ladies, but the postmaster
general does not. His fashionable, well kept
tile tops out his trim, handsome figure, APP
parently as immovable as when he is strid-
ing up town on his daily constitutional
walk.
There Is one faction that holds that a
cabinet minister should not dof his hat in the
presence Of subordinate employees, unless it is
advisable for him to do as q matter Of COM
fort. Another faction maintains that the
postmaster general is a man and should be n
gentleman under all circumstances, the incum-
bency of his high office not excepted. For a
time 1t was reported in some of the distant
rooms Of the building, where Col. Villas sell
dom goes, that he was very bald and wore
his hat to keep from catching rold. The story
even took on the addition that the postmaster
general wore constantly while at his desk q
little silk cap. This is not the case. He has
a fair covering Of hair on his head and has
no silk cap. The question of etiquette is still
under debate. Argonaut.

II is q mistaken impression people have
that when a lawyer defends a criminal he
is fully aware OF his guilt, and that all
his efforts tend to disprove his guilt. 1t
Is almost as common as the idea that
when a man is accused of n crime 1t is
not for him to prove himself innocent but
for the state to prove him guilty. 1t has
been my experience land other gentlemen
in criminal practice with whom 1 have
conversed agree with mel that the men l
have defended who have been guilty have
invariably told me that they were limo
cent, and / have been unaware of the
true state Of facts until the state has
proved them, up. Criminals, that is the
not tell their lawyers the exact nature Of
their cases. They depend upon their
friends to swear them out. They tell the
lawyer what certain witnesses know, and
these witnesses are summoned. Often
witnesses commit rank perjury, Of course,
but a decent lawyer knows very well that
n perjured witness is liable 70 break and
spoil the case, and SO, il a witness Is sus-
pected Of lying, he is never put upon the
stand. No, lawyers are an abused set of
men. They have been burlesqued and
reviled in fiction and drama and paint
ing, and anything will be believed of
.them-nothing soone han they suborn
perjury. 1t is against their interest to do
this, and if they won't give a lawyer
credit for morals, perhaps they will for

One evening 1.-THE Stranger" was put in the
bills, and the managers little daughter was
dressed in her Sunday frock to run on the stage
and soften the heart of Kotzebue's gloomy
nobleman. Like many an older debutante
she was far more concerned about the adorn-
ments of her person than about the artistic
merits Of her performances; and, catching
sight of her nurse in the front row of the pit,
lin those days stalls were unknown, at least
in MaryleboneJ she astonished the actors and
enraptured the audience by calling out, "Oh,
nursey, look at my new shoesi" Mrs. Kendall
may thus be said to nave begun life character
